What We Owe the Saloon Party.

Aside from our objections to So
looms as a matter of principle, we
have had no cause personally to love
them. From the beginning they
have been our worst enemies. We
had not published our paper month
here before they were canvassing our
position. For some years we took
no special ground against them, but
even then they instinctively knew
that we were not of their sort, and OF
course opposed us. They were the
first to question our "soundness on
the goose" and to raise the cry OF
"enemy to the South" 1t is indeed
amazing how vastly patriotic are sa-
loon men and their patrons. 1t was
in this circle that the stories were
concocted of our unpopularity. 1t
was there that sundry silly gudgeons
of the wandering class of printers and
publishers were stuffed with the idea
that the road to fame and fortune
lay in starting another paper here.
Yet this saloon set are the poorest OF
all patrons Of newspaper. What
they want of an editor is to do a
large amount of advertising for them
for "the drinks then he is all right.
But as to substantial patronage given
him they are mot there.
The later course of the saloons
against us, their hanging us in effigy'
and far gre ter outrage, are TOO we'll
remembered torequire notice. Upon
the whole we guess it will have to be
conceded that there is mo love lost
between the saloons and the FREE
Press.

"(aet Thee Behind Me, Satan"


We are told that Judge Cook, in
his late speech at this place, applied
the Above quotation to us, to the
great apparent satisfaction OF himself
and certain kindred spirits. But we
think it will not be difficult to show
that the quotation applies much bet
ter to himself. Let us see. He is
no doubt the least excusable ofall the
anti-prohibition speakers; a judge is
expected to occupy higher ground
than any mere politician, and he de-
scended from the bench to take SER
vice in his present immoral and de-
basing work. Not only so but he
has descended lower than any other,
taking the ground that whisky drink
ing is not only not an evil, but pos
tive good. He has even gone so far
as to declare in so many words that
for himself "aohenever he soanted to
get drunk he got drink He has also
avowed that no one could be DEM
Ocrat or q Christian who advocated
prohibition. And all the time he has
declared himself to be o Christian
believer, has quoted scripture pro-
fusely, and even continued to re-
hearse lecture of his showing up
the shortcomings of st. Peter-we
suppose by way of contrast with his
own more perfect character!
Now we submit if there is notan un-
approachable grotesqueness Of grim
satire in the idea of this impure dis
ciple of personal liberty" of the
saturnalian order, posing in the name
of Christianity, as censor of the
preachers and good Christian men
and women of Texas, while insulting
high Heaven with blatant blasphemy?
Could anything be more applicable
to his own case, than the passage of
scripture which he vainly sought to
make fit us, and which forms the
caption of this article?

Chautauqua-..New York and Texas.

ED. FREE Press just received q
letter from San Marcos a few days
since, stating that your Chautauqua
would begin August 9th. Was glad
indeed to know that the town had
not entirely abandoned q scheme
which has for it's aim so much good.
So we thought few lines from this
wonderful and consecrated spot
would not be amiss. So much has
been said and written about Chau-
tauqua, that we will attempt nothing
more than to generallze little by
way of comparison.
We wish to state here what we
beard very distinguished man say
once, and which will serve in the out
set to illustrate our idea and the
comparison we wish to make. He
said: No organized institution could
exist long, unless there was money
in it for some one.
We only ask, that while you apply
the illustration, just cast your eye
back and see how thick and fast such
have fallen. The theory is correct
That which is not worth an earnest
effort and an outlay and sacrifice, is
not of sufficient Importance to
claim the attention of competent
business men.
Now, some one is ready to say:
HE wants our Assembly organized
on a money basis" That is exactly
the theory, if you understand it as
we mean, and until San Marcos Chau-
tauqua gets precisely on that foun-
dalton it will be a failure. Not a
speculation for the incorporators, but
a moral institution with enough bust
ness principles in its foundation 10
insure success.
Now, We will give a few illustra-
tons taken from these grounds
which will more clearly define our
idea There are, at present two
large hotels, besides four hundred
cottages that keep boardsrs. These
hotels, in size, and organization. and
convenience, and method, might do
credit to many large cities, and the
cottages are simply beautiful Now
how came these hotels and cottages

The Last Grand Prohibition Gathering
and Barbecue of the Campaign.

The present issue of our paper should be
dated Tuesday, and before going to press in
the evening, we have only time to record
the impression derived from hasty visit to
the barbecue grounds. We found the affair
in all respects grand success. To begin
at the beginning, however, at about 10
o'clock the San Marcos delegation formed
on the square. The San Marcos band led
the way, followed by float decorated with
flags and appropriate Inscriptions and filed
with large number of the young misses of
the city singing prohibition songs. They
had an organ on board" This was fol-
lowed by other conveyances containing
ladies' and gentlemen including a choir of
male singers. After all these had passed
came large colored delegation, aleo sing
ing prohibition songs. Their float was also
de Grated with flags We were struck with the
appropriateness of a motto on the main We
hisle: "Less Whisky and More Education. {"
Arrived at the grounds just at dinner we
found the entire space closely filled with
people, horses and vehicles. Kyle was we'll
represented. The number we heard vari-
ously estimated at from 5000 to 5000. II
was conceded to be the largest gathering
ever had at this place save that at the
Woods regiment reunion. and we think It
surpassed that. Excellent speeches were
made by DIR. Robinson Of Waco, Judge
Martin Of Blanco, and others. Elder Will
